因（某件坏事）出名、声名在外
盖布对着镜头解释自己从不碰学生：他说校园里那些极受欢迎的名教授，恰恰以勾引女学生出名，用 notorious for 给自己的清白立了个对照组。

解释神风女人理论：penchant for
作家盖布在镜头前坦白自己有 penchant for（对某类人的强烈偏爱）所谓的「神风女人」——她们 self-destructive（自我毁灭），还会把飞机朝你撞过来，让你一起坠毁。他讲到哈丽雅特，说她是 the great love of my life（我一生的至爱），最后却 wound up in an institution（进了精神病院）。想学怎么坦白自己的感情癖好，这些最典型。
发生了什么
这是盖布对着镜头的一段自白：他先说起有些教授 notorious for（因坏事声名在外）勾引女学生，说这种事太容易，因为他和她们之间是崇拜与被崇拜。话锋一转，他承认自己有一种 penchant for（对某类人强烈的偏爱）所谓的「神风女人」：她们自我毁灭，还会把飞机朝你撞过来，让你一起坠毁。他回忆与哈丽雅特的那段炽热关系，最后她 wound up（最终落到）精神病院，他只说 great but nuts（很棒，可是疯了）。
这场戏看什么
- 听否认师生恋后的转折
- 注意神风比喻的两步

这一章能学到
- 理解“kamikaze women”在本场的具体语气
- 分清“penchant”的字面和实际作用
- 听出说话者如何推进这次对话
They're self-destructive. But they crash it into you, and you die along with them.她们自我毁灭。可飞机会朝你撞过来，你也跟她们一起死。 把「危险的爱」说成神风特攻：不是她一个人坠落，而是拉着你一起。这个比喻整场都站得住。
She was, you know, great but-but nuts.她是，你知道，很棒，可是——可是疯了。 五个词把一个人一生的矛盾说完：好与疯不可分开。爱上她的理由，正是毁掉她的原因。
I mean, it's not funny. It was a very sad thing.我是说，这一点都不好笑。那是一件很悲哀的事。 讲到最不堪的往事时，他忽然收回笑声，替对方把界线划清。这句是整段自白的良心。
And, um, of course, it has not worked out well for me.而且，嗯，当然，这对我来说从来没有好结果。 用一句轻描淡写的总结，承认自己一再选错人。of course 把必然性说得像认命。
关于这一章的问题
penchant for 是什么意思？
指对某类人或事有一种藏不住的、强烈的偏爱，常带点自嘲。片里盖布说自己有 a penchant for kamikaze women，就是坦白他总被那种危险的女人吸引。
「小菜一碟」英语怎么说？
说 a cinch。片里形容教授勾引学生太容易，用的就是 because it's a cinch，意思是这事对他们来说轻而易举、毫无难度。
kamikaze women 是什么意思？
神风是二战时自杀式撞击的日本飞行员，这里借来形容那种自我毁灭、还会把身边人一起拖下水的女人。片里是盖布自己造的说法。
wound up 和 end up 有什么不一样？
意思接近，都是「最终落到某种处境」。wound up 是 wind up 的过去式，语气更口语，常接 in/with；片里说她 wound up in an institution，就是最后进了精神病院。
notorious for 是褒义还是贬义？
基本是贬义，指因某件不光彩的事出名。片里说教授们 notorious for seducing their female pupils，就是「以勾引女学生臭名昭著」。正面的事一般不用它。
